Thank you to all my wonderful patients who keep adding stars to my record on HealthGrades.

There is nothing more satisfying than knowing my patients are moving forward and enjoying a life with less anxiety, fear, and panic.

Thank you to all of you for taking the time to support me.

If you are a case manager who needs someone to help your next patient overcome trauma, fear, anxiety, and panic caused by a workplace injury, I would love to help them get their life back.

Contact me to discuss how we can do that together.

When Your Injured Worker Needs More Than Physical Recovery, I'm Here to Help.

As a psychologist specializing in trauma, PTSD, and anxiety, I understand that psychological recovery can be just as important as physical healing and that delays in addressing these challenges can affect an injured worker's progress and quality of life.

My goal is to be a trusted resource for nurse case managers, healthcare providers, and workers' compensation professionals who need specialized psychological care for their patients.

I believe successful recovery requires more than treatment alone. It takes collaboration, timely intervention, clear communication, and a shared commitment to helping injured workers move forward.

If you're managing a case where trauma, PTSD, or anxiety may be affecting recovery, I welcome the opportunity to help.

Let's connect and discuss how I can support your next patient and your care coordination efforts.

With four decades of clinical experience, helping individuals recover from PTSD, trauma, anxiety, and the psychological effects of life-changing events is my mission.

Let's connect to discuss your next work injury case.

Does this sound familiar... Your injured worker is attending appointments and following the treatment plan.

But now they are barely sleeping.

They jump at sudden noises.

They keep replaying the accident in their mind.

They seem anxious, distracted, or fearful when returning to work is discussed.

Yet no psychological referral has been made.

These may be signs that the injury is affecting more than the body.

After a traumatic workplace incident, PTSD, anxiety, panic, and other trauma-related symptoms can become part of the recovery process.

If they are not recognized, they may begin to affect rehabilitation, confidence, daily function, and readiness to return to work.

For case managers and healthcare providers, this may be the point to ask: Are we treating the full impact of the injury?

I work with injured workers experiencing trauma, PTSD, and anxiety following workplace injuries, while collaborating with the professionals involved in their care.

Sometimes moving a case forward starts with recognizing what has not yet been addressed.

Please reach out to me. I am here to help.

Patient reviews are always a true highlight for me. They are one of the greatest compliments I can receive because they tell me the work I am doing is making a meaningful difference in someone’s life.

But this review represents a new milestone.

Since expanding my work with injured workers and the case managers and professionals who guide their recovery, I received my first testimonial from a case manager.

For me, successful recovery is about more than helping someone return to work.

It’s about addressing the psychological trauma that can follow a workplace injury and helping that person move forward with greater calm, confidence, and hope.

Thank you, Jacki, for your trust in me and for allowing me to be part of the care and recovery of the patients you serve.

This is a question I hear often because many injured workers expect recovery to be purely physical.

But when fear, anxiety, sleep disruption, panic, or trauma begin affecting daily life, they can also affect how someone moves through recovery.

My role is to help injured patients understand what they are experiencing, identify the psychological barriers that may be slowing progress, and provide focused treatment that helps them regain stability, confidence, and a greater sense of control.

Psychological care can be an important part of helping the whole person move forward.

I am here for that part of the process.

Case Managers Need More Than a Referral Name. They Need a Reliable Clinical Resource.

When you are managing an injured worker’s recovery, questions can come up at every stage, from identifying the right provider to navigating a complex case or coordinating ongoing care.

Il work directly with case managers and workers’ compensation professionals in several ways:

✔️New patient referrals: Discuss an injured worker who may benefit from PTSD, trauma, anxiety, or EMDR treatment.

✔️Current or complex cases: Speak directly with Dr. Murrell about whether his expertise may be appropriate for a particular patient or clinical situation.

✔️Case manager questions: Get answers regarding availability, telepsychology, documentation, communication, and the referral process.

✔️Provider contracts and partnerships: Discuss credentialing, contracting, referral arrangements, service areas, and ongoing organizational needs.

✔️Workers’ compensation provider relationships: Explore establishing Dr. Murrell as a trusted referral resource for your case management team or organization.

The goal is simple: make it easier for case managers to connect injured workers with specialized psychological care when they need it.

If you have a patient, case, or referral question, connect directly with me.

Maybe your body is getting stronger.
The physical therapy appointments are going well.
Your physical injury is improving.

But something still feels off.

You may be having trouble sleeping. You may replay the accident in your mind, feel anxious about returning to work, become easily startled, avoid certain places or situations, or constantly worry that something could happen again.

Those reactions can happen after a traumatic workplace injury.

Physical recovery and emotional recovery do not always happen at the same pace.

PTSD, trauma, and anxiety can affect your confidence, concentration, sleep, relationships, and ability to feel safe returning to the work you once did without a second thought.

You do not have to simply push through it.

I specialize in helping injured workers understand and treat the psychological impact of workplace trauma, including PTSD, anxiety, panic, and trauma-related symptoms.

The goal is not just to heal from what happened physically.

It is to help you regain the calm, confidence, and sense of control that may have been lost along the way.

Your injury may have happened at work. Its impact does not have to follow you everywhere else.

Healing your mind is as important as healing your body.

That's my specialty and my passion. I'm here for you.

The surgery went well. Physical therapy is progressing. The injury is healing.

But the worker still isn’t moving forward.

They may be struggling with sleep, panic, intrusive memories, fear of reinjury, difficulty concentrating, or intense anxiety about returning to the place where the accident happened.

Sometimes, the barrier to recovery is no longer only physical.

Psychological trauma following a workplace injury can affect confidence, daily function, rehabilitation, and readiness to return to work. And because those symptoms aren’t always visible, they can be easy to overlook.

For nurse case managers and healthcare professionals, recognizing those signs can be an important next step in helping an injured worker move forward.

I specialize in PTSD, trauma, anxiety, and EMDR treatment for injured workers, with a focus on helping patients regain stability, confidence, and function while collaborating with the professionals guiding their care.

If a case appears physically on track but recovery still seems stalled, it may be time to look beyond the physical injury.

Let's discuss how I can help you and your patients. Call me directly.

Hi everyone!

If it's too difficult to read on the lovely scroll, here is my message to all of you....

To my patients, colleagues, and community,

For more than four decades, it has been my privilege to help people navigate PTSD, trauma, anxiety, and panic. That work remains deeply personal to me, and it continues to shape every part of my practice.

I am writing to share an important new direction. My practice is now focusing on workers’ compensation referrals for injured workers experiencing PTSD, trauma, and related anxiety. I have been encouraged by medical and workers’ compensation professionals to serve more intentionally as a trusted psychological resource and preferred provider for these cases.

This next chapter is both a professional honor and a personal passion. It allows me to expand my expertise, support nurse case managers and healthcare professionals, and help injured workers move care forward with greater clarity, speed, and compassion.

My existing patients will continue to receive care and support. However, I am no longer accepting new traditional patients, and my practice is now closed to new general patient appointments.

I also look forward to continuing to share education, tools, and mental health resources for providers, referral partners, and injured workers seeking guidance and hope in the recovery process.

Thank you for your trust and support as this work evolves. Helping people get well remains at the heart of what I do.

Warmly,
Dr. Michael Murrell
